I can't believe the hype over a TV programme which is an insult to the viewers' intelligence.

I've never been able to watch a whole episode of Big Brother, as watching paint dry is far more interesting.

As for racism, Jade Goody is a victim of a disadvantged upbringing, she obviously has not had a good education, and I doubt she even knows the meaning of racism, and certainly wouldn't be able to spell it.

I think that because Shilpa is a slim attractive woman (with manners) Jade is very jealous of her, and anyone else who is slimmer or prettier than she is, which just about covers everyone else in the Big Brother house.

The foul remarks that Jade spat out to Shilpa were just a result of uncouth bad temper and nothing more.

Had Shilpa been white, she would have still received the same tirade of abuse because she is pretty.

This was not a racist argument, it was just a large dose of green eye.

If the viewers are angry because Jade has made so many millions out of being brash, then they should remember that they put her where she is today.

I wouldn't be surpised if Jades bank balance is reducing faster than the number of viewers of Big Brother.
